Directions:

After you have a thick, smooth puree, add 1/4 Parmesan or Romano cheese. Add 2 T. of butter in the pasta bowl and mix with hot pasta and 3/4 of the pesto. Serve with more cheese and more pesto in a bowl. This recipe is for 1 lb of pasta but you can make batches and store it in the freezer. Just delete the nuts and then add them, chopped, to the thawed pesto before mixing it with the pasta.
